writes: HeyThis sounds sort of stupid, but I'm worriedToday my girlfriend swallowed a jube jube and it was stuck in her throat and it hurt her, so she called a nurse hotline and asked about it and told them, one of the questions the nurse asked is "is there any chance you could be pregnant" and she said no. The thing is, there's practically none, we've had sex once, we used a condom, she's on birth control, and i pulled out incase anyways, the condom didn't have any breaks or leaks. When we fool around, semen doesn't reach her at all, that i'm aware and it's a low chance it would without me knowing. My question is, is this a standard question that nurses just always ask? She just went to the hospital and I had to stay home... I'm worried, someone tell me if she could be pregnant.

(I was asked if I could be pregnant when I went to hospital for an x-ray). So, if the hospital needed to do an x-ray on your girlfriend to see where precisely the candy was stuck then yes, I think that would be a standard question to ask.

 Bev Conolly is spot on, it is a standard question, its not a case of jube jube being a soft candy or whatever it is and whether its related to pregancy, they need to know if a female my be pregnant for a variety of reasons, lets say for expample if she needed some kind of major surgery or as Bev said needed to give blood etc etc. Dont worry. xXx

 I think it is a standard question they have to ask, because before any medical staff can make any sorts of recommendations, they need to know if there's any possibility of pregnancy.
For example, there might have been a special treatment for a raw throat, but something not recommended if a woman's pregnant, because the effects on a foetus aren't known. Obviously, if there's a chance your girlfriend might be pregnant, the nurse wouldn't have made a recommendation of anything that might affect a foetus.
Now, I'm not medical in any way, but I know, just from being female, that I get asked if I could possibly be pregnant, just about any time I go to the doctor, or give blood, or buy medicine at the chemist. It's a wonder I don't have to answer that question to pay for my groceries! ;-) It's really pretty standard in Australia. Probably is elsewhere too.
